Meeting Description:

VALS-ASLA 2018 conference will be held at the University of Basel. The
conference is entitled as ''A Video Turn in Linguistics?''

The use of video is spreading in all domains of the human and social sciences,
and particularly in linguistics and applied linguistics. This « video turn »
has several methodological, theoretical, and applied consequences.
Methodologically, video allows the researcher to collect data of increasing
complexity, in order to document not only the gestural and embodied dimension
of spoken language but also the visual dimension of written language, as well
as the visual and embodied aspects of technologically mediated communication.
Crucially, the use of video raises theoretical issues, inviting to re-think
language, action, cognition, culture and social order, by recognizing the
fundamental importance of embodiment and more generally of multimodality. The
applied consequences are important too, since video offers new ways of
communicating, sharing, and circulating scientific results, in particular with
people filmed and targeted by video research.

Despite a real boom experienced by video these last decades, a lot of
theoretical and analytical issues, methodological and technological problems,
and questions about the usability and impact of video data remain. Often the
potentialities of video remain under-estimated and under-exploited. This
conference aims at showcasing and reflecting about the diversity of uses of
video in linguistics and neighboring disciplines.
